CASCAR: BRYAN CATHCART READY TO RETURN TO THE CASCAR SUPER SERIES

DELAWARE, ON - Following successful day on the ½ mile oval at Delaware Speedway Bryan Cathcart is ready to hit the track for the start of the 2005 CASCAR Super Series. Like all other the other teams running with Mopar power under the hood this season Cathcart and the Meyers Transport/Peterborough Homes/Parkview Homes car were at the track for the annual “Mopar Day” at Delaware Speedway on May 7th.

“It sure was a lot of fun to get back behind the wheel of this Mopar powered Dodge” smiled Cathcart. “The car looks good and felt really smooth. We’ve got a lot of good people that will be helping us out this season, some of them new to our team so it was a good opportunity for everybody to get together and work on some things and get to understand their role within the team”.

Among those working hard to prepare the Mopar powered Chargers for Cathcart this season are past champion crew chief Billy Burns. Also joining the Meyers Transport/Peterborough Homes/Parkview Homes team this season is CASCAR veteran Tim Ellas who also has a long list of accomplishments in the Super Series including a championship season with Dan Shirtliff in 1996.

According to Cathcart “you can never have enough good people working on your race car. With Billy working through the week to prepare the cars, Tim at the track to help coordinate our efforts and the rest of our guys we should be ready. The competition in the CASCAR Super Series gets stronger every season and to represent our sponsors properly we have to be prepared every time we pull into an event”.

Coming up on Tuesday, May 17th you will have an opportunity to see the Meyers Transport/Peterborough Homes/Parkview Homes car and meet Bryan Cathcart at the CASCAR Media Day taking place at the NASCAR Speedpark at the Vaughan Mills Mall located at Hwy 400 & Rutherford Rd. Activities get under way at 10:30AM with plenty of time allotted for pictures and interviews.

The CASCAR Super Series is the only National Touring Series of Stock Car Racing in Canada. This year’s race schedule will consist of short ovals, road courses and temporary street circuits. Super Series competition during 2005 is scheduled to take place at familiar settings like Delaware, Cayuga & Peterborough Speedways, along with Kawartha Downs and the Molson Indy in Toronto. New stops on this years’ schedule include Barrie Speedway and Sun Valley Speedway in Vernon, BC.
